Equilibrium Distillation

This document provides information to calculate equilibrium distillation of a water-ethanol mixture. It gives the Antoine equation constants for water and ethanol, feed composition of 50% water and 50% ethanol, operating conditions of 90°C and a relative volatility of 2.26. It also provides vapor-liquid equilibrium data in an ideal case from which the enrichment and cut for different distillation cuts can be determined.
